A preliminary hearing for University of Colorado quarterback Jordan Webb and former CU lineman Alexander Lewis in their assault cases has been postponed after attorneys said they needed more time to prepare for the hearing.

Lewis, 21, faces one count of second-degree assault and two counts of harassment while Webb, also 21, faces one count of second-degree assault after police say the two assaulted a man on University Hill in May.

The preliminary hearing is now scheduled for July 1 in Boulder County Court. Prosecutor Bruce Langer indicated there were still some records that he and the defense attorneys needed to obtain and review before a preliminary hearing.

At a preliminary hearing, a judge can go over the case to rule whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed with felony charges. Both Lewis and Webb waived their rights to have a preliminary hearing within 35 days of their arrest before Boulder County Judge David Archuleta in order to postpone the hearing.

Boulder police arrested Lewis and Webb in the early morning hours of May 11 after witnesses said they were involved in a fight on the Hill that left a cadet from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs unconscious.

According to a police report, witnesses said Lewis -- an offensive linemen who transferred to the University of Nebraska in May -- pushed 22-year-old Lee Bussey's head into a brick wall, before both Lewis and Webb pushed Bussey to the ground and began punching him.

Lewis' attorney, Donald Brenner, has maintained Bussey threw the first punch and that Lewis was merely shoving him away.

Both Brenner and Webb's attorney Lou Rubino declined to comment on the case after the hearing today.

Both Lewis and Webb are free on $10,000 bond.

Boulder is pretty good at producing rock bands, and by "rock," we mean the in-your-face, guitar-heavy, leather-clad variety — you know, the good kind. For a prime example, look no farther than BANDITS. Full Story
